Building essential civic muscles for a stronger America

As the largest and only intercollegiate offering, Unify America's Civic Gym is a powerful and innovative civic preparedness platform. We bring thousands of college students together to build and flex their civic muscles. And we see great results. Students, faculty, and staff enthusiastically give us high marks and come back for more.

With high-impact, low-risk, engaging experiences that educate and empower—our programming delivers effective, scalable experiential learning that bridges ideological divides, fosters respectful dialogue, and develops essential civic and leadership skills.

Our civic training equips students with the tools, mindsets, and practice necessary to engage effectively across differences through civil discourse. And not just at college. We're cultivating informed, proactive citizens on campuses, in communities, and in the workforce.
Because, after all, we're in this together.

Real-world practice with real-life results

Grounded in research and built for scale, the Civic Gym is anchored by two peer-to-peer,
virtual dialogue programs featuring real-time, guided video conversations about pressing national issues.

Matched student pairs—from different schools, backgrounds, worldviews, and locations—engage in powerful discussions. They share their points of view, find common ground, and discover that they
can have respectful conversations without conflict.
